91 points - David Lawrason
This pours bright, deep almost luminous purple ruby and offers up a similarly intense and enticing nose of red and black cherry, blueberry, violet and dark chocolate. It is medium-full bodied, plush and very generous with some heat (14%) sour-edged acidity and fine tannin. Quite delicious, with characteristic barbera bombast. Excellent length. Tasted October 2026

Mariuccia Borio's 2025 signifies her 55th harvest off of 35 hectares for more than 200,000 bottles of production. A barbera, though there can be smatterings of other endemic varieties in the mix, depending on the whim of winemakers Giorgio Gozzelino and Roberto Austa. This is Castlèt's signature and business card of a barbera, come from a selection, without obstructing wood through the aging process. Representative of origin, that being Costigiole d’Asti. So well made, and made for all. Drink 2026-2028. Tasted October 2026.

There is something immediately appealing about the barbera - full of flavour, transparent and uncomplicated. The palate is medium bodied, supple, and sleek, with acidity and tannins providing support discretely. A pleasing wine, best enjoyed in its youth. Tasted October 2026.
